The merchants and manufacturers of New
Brunswick. 1t seems, are growing enyious of
our greater trade in the West Indies, and are
making efforts to divert portion of it.
Thursday, the st. John Trade and Forward
ing Company gave notice of the sailing Of
their pioneer vessel for the West Indies.
Commenting upon the venture, the ST. John
Sun says:
This should be the FIRST step towards the cap
ture by New Brunswick OF at least portion Of
our natural market In the tropical regions. The
Sun is informed that scores of mills In New Eng
hand, principally in Maine, are engaged in pre-
pairing material tor orange boxes lemon boxes,
and other wooden packages for West India pro-
ducts. The West Indies are now supplied with
Canadian 1sh re-shipped from American ports,
with New Brunswick lumber forwarded by United
States middle men, and with dried and packed
meats which this province could furnish better
and cheaper than the country from which they
are purchased. 1t is nigh time that this province
should try to secure share OF the West India
market for goods which are New Brunswick spe-
clalties.

To all book lovers we desire to recommend
for the coming year, 'The Book-Buyer," an
extremely valuable magazine and literary
journal published monthly by Charles Serb
ner's Sons, New York. 1t contains an in
teresting summary of American and foreign
literature and has brilliant list of special
contributors. 1t is eleverly illustrated, and
each number is embellished with portrait
of some popular modern author. engraved
expressly for 1.-THE Book-Buyer." The
Christmas number of over one hundred pages,
will be of unusual interest, with several col
ored illustrations, and the price of the publi-
catian, one dollar year, is merely nominal.
